Have to make your government responsible for it.
Everybody contributes a percentage of whatever they're earning.
A 'National Insurance' type thing.
But you have to get rid of the insurance companies.
They're only concern is to see a return for their shareholders.
If you make the government responsible for it's running and upkeep, you can bet your life (figuratively speaking) they'll try and get it running efficiently.
May have to make it a pre-requisite that any Med. student taking government funding for their training has to spend a period of time working in public healthcare for a period after they qualify.
Before, no doubt, trying to get into lucrative private practice.
But you can't continue to make it so politically biased.
I was going to try and do some research this week. See how many Senators or congressmen are actually members of hospital boards or on the board of certain insurance companies.
I wondered if that might have been a reason why America constantly goes around and around on this issue.
